Translation = A whistle blower claims Boeing ignored his worries about the safety of the 787’s. The FAA confirmed this after reports in the New York Times.

Boeing-ingenieur Sam Salehpour beweert dat de romp van de 787 Dreamliner zwakker kan worden doordat medewerkers handigheidjes gebruiken om verschillende onderdelen sneller aan elkaar te bevestigen. Ze deden dit om nieuwe exemplaren van het vliegtuig op tijd te kunnen afleveren.
Translation = Boeing engineer Sam Salehpour claims the fuselage of the 787 can ‘degrade’ because employees used ‘tricks’ to assemble/connect components faster. They did this to enable delivery of new aircraft on time.

A0283 question - has anyone more information on this item ?

Complete "Agree". Individual who filed claims at FAA lawyered up very, very well. (See R&N thread, si vouz plait)
